Check the area around this school
75th of 111 primary schools in East Riding of Yorkshire we can score, 123 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 3.3/10 against 644 of them, against 2.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 56.0 · 30 | 41% | 1.20 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about New Pasture Lane Primary School
Overview
New Pasture Lane Primary School continues to be a good school, with leaders actively developing a bespoke curriculum tailored to their community. The inspection highlights strong pupil engagement, effective support for families, and robust safeguarding arrangements, though the curriculum requires further refinement in sequencing and challenge.
Strengths
- Leaders have created ‘Language Ladders’ to help pupils build a secure vocabulary bank, starting from nursery with high levels of adult support.
- There are many leadership opportunities for pupils, such as being ‘mini mentors’, school ambassadors, or Year 6 prefects, which raise self-esteem.
- Staff effectively support families, with a parent support assistant helping access external agencies for issues like housing and finance.
- Pupils are enthusiastic about mathematics, recalling prior learning and using correct terminology, supported by expert tutors.
- Governors are knowledgeable and hold leaders to account through termly reports, preparing questions to ‘challenge the leader’s thinking’.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must identify the ‘essential knowledge’ pupils need to know at the end of each topic to ensure the curriculum is sufficiently sequenced.
- Leaders should ensure consistency in phonics teaching and how adults support pupils reading, following the introduction of a new scheme.
- The curriculum must be more ambitious for higher-attaining pupils, ensuring they are ‘further challenged’ in all areas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders using the mantra ‘It could happen here’ to ensure staff understand harm indicators and support families proactively.
